Who Plays What - Who Plays What
Monday, 12 May 2008 10:22

C. C. DeVille is best known as the lead guitarist of the American glam metal band Poison. He has also acted in both reality television and television drama shows.

A fun side note is that in 2004 Guitar World gave C.C the tile of Worst Guitar Soloist of All-Time.

Seeing as the whole VH1 Rock of Love show has reignited the band Poison, let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in C.C. Deville's guitar rig. As always, feel free to add to the list (leave a comment).

i know on some tracks i swear i hear some reverb delays and some choruses scattered on the list. i want to say he uses pedals for that since the amps have nothing built-in, but i could be mistaken and they were put in post production by the producer.i dont have any further info, but just love to be a part of the site.

Man, CC is one of the most awesomest :cheer: guitar players ever! I have seen him in concert many times and he just has a complete and total command of the instrument within his style. No matter what you may think of how he has conducted his past lifestyle and musical choices, the man is a true musician through and through.
